Chapter Eight : The Closed Off Heart
SPECIAL AGENT OPS FIELD
OFFICE
The next day, Piper, Joanna and I are looking at the bulletin board with pictures of Quinton Kiermont.
"Quinton Kiermont is a deranged sociopathic maniac and a possible serial killer." Piper said to me.
"Yeah, and with the three of us, we can work together, what do you ladies say?" I said to both Piper and Joana.
"I say heck yeah." Piper said.
"Yeah, what Piper said." Joanna said.
Piper, Joana and I exchange small smiles at each other.
"Hey, Shortcake." Aiden greeted me by the staircase.
"We'll be in the lounge room." Piper said as she and Joanna gets up and walks away.
"I'm busy, Aiden." I tell him.
"So, you're not even gonna look at me?" Aiden asked me. "I understand how hurt you are. And I will always feel remorse about what I did. I'm sorry, Andy."
I turn sideways in my chair. "Sorry that you and Gilmore got intimate while I was away? Or sorry that we broke up?"
"Both." Aiden replied to me. "I'm trying to make amends with you."
"I don't want to make amends with you, Aiden?!" I exclaimed, upset. "And I don't really care anymore. My feelings for you has been shattered and lost when we broke up for good."
"I don't believe that. There's still chance for us. You know it." Aiden said, walks up to me.
"There is no chance for "Aidangie" anymore." I tell him, getting up to my feet and glares at my ex-boyfriend with a dark look of expression on my face. "But once you realize that you lost the girl that you truly loved, I will be already gone."
Aiden looks at me, having noticed the dark look expression on my face. "You're hurt. You're hurt and you're acting out, Andy, this isn't you."
"Of course it is, Aidy. You've seen this side of me." I tell him, and takes a inch step to him. "You don't know who I am when I don't love you anymore."
"Angie?" Aiden said.
"So, go on ahead, proceed with your intimacy with Gilmore. It's not the first time that you've cheated on me with some wench. No ill-will to Gilmore or Ziandra by the way." I said to him.
Aiden and I exchange looks at each other. I walks back over to the table and sits back down, continuing with my task.
Aiden just stands there for a little while, hurt and downhearted. He slowly walks away.
*~*~*
3RD POV
At Minxes Speakeasy, Aiden and Gilmore are sitting at the bar counter with bottles of Ale.
"Angie resents me." Aiden said to her.
"She could never resent you, Aiden. Angie's just hurt right now." said Gilmore.
"I saw the look on her face, Gilmore. She had her "Dark Angie" look on her face. She even told me that she doesn't love me anymore." Aiden said.
"Angie has a dark cloud over her." Gilmore said.
"She said that you and Ziandra were wenches, Gillie. But Angie doesn't hold any ill-will towards you or Ziandra." Aiden tells her.
Gilmore becomes shocked. "Guess I deserved that."
"It's me that Angie's pissed off at." Aiden said, taking a swig of his bottle of Ale.
"I saw Toney and Angie at her surprise party." Gilmore mentioned.
"Yeah, so did I. The two of them must have a connection or something." Aiden said, slightly jealous.
Gilmore looks at Aiden. "You sound little bit jealousy, Aiden."
"I'm not." Aiden said, denying his slight jealousy.

JEN'S DINER
That afternoon, Toney and I are sitting in a booth table across from each other with our paper food trays of cheeseburger sliders and onion rings, along with glasses of orange soda.
"So, this is our romantic date." I said to Toney with a small smile, chewing on a onion ring.
"Yeah, you and I have known each other for a long while." Toney said.
"And by the way, did you hold back when you were fighting Jed at the Blue Waves Swimming Center?" I asked him.
"Nope." Toney replied to me. "How's your task coming along with Quinton Kiermont?"
"Piper, Joanna and I are gonna work together on it. But as of right now, Quinton isn't showy himself." I replied to him.
Toney and I exchange worried looks at each other. My phone buzzes on the table. I picks up my phone and looks at it.
Piper Liane
I answer my phone. "Hey, Piper. You have something?"
"Yeah, Joanna and I are at the Arrington Jailhouse. And it's not good." Piper told me on the phone.
*~*~*
ARRINGTON JAILHOUSE
Piper, Joana and I walks inside the main room and sees Quintora Kean's henchmen dead with their throat silts and stab wounds on their stomachs.
"Oh my gosh." Piper said, horrified.
"What the hell?" Joanna said, also horrified. And looks at Me. "You weren't kidding about Quinton Kiermont."
Piper, Joanna and I exchange worried looks at each other.
"Where's Quintora Kean?" I asked.
My phone buzzes in my pants pocket. I pulls out my phone and looks at it.
Quinton Kiermont
I answer my phone. "Quinton?"
"I assume that you're at the Arrington Jailhouse right now, looking at the dead bodies of my girlfriend's henchmen. But not to worry, Special Agent Sweet Angie, it's nothing to what I have schemed up next." Quinton tells me, and hangs up his phone.
*~*~*
JEN'S DINER
That evening, I went back to finish my date with Toney. I slowly walks back inside the diner.
Toney and I exchange looks at each other as he slides out of the booth table and slowly walks up to me.
"Angie? You okay? What's wrong?" He asked me, concerned.
"It's Quinton." I replied to him, becoming worried. "He's a monster."
Toney hugs me and I hugs him. And then, Aiden slowly walks inside and sees Toney and Me hugging each other.
Feeling hurt and jealousy, Aiden walks back out of the diner.
*~*~*
SAUNDERS HOME
In the living room, Toney and I are sitting on the three seat sofa, playing with Teacup Yorkie.
"Cute Yorkie." Toney said.
"Yeah, Teacup Yorkie's keeps me some company." I said to Toney.
"Are you gonna be okay?" Toney asked me, worried.
I look at Toney. "I don't know, maybe. But I'll be fine, you can go home. I'll see you around."
"I'm not gonna leave you alone, Saunders." Toney said.
Toney and I exchange soften looks at each other and we kiss, passionately. We gently pulls away from the kiss and exchange small smiles at each other, gently leaning our foreheads on each other's.
